I'm still working through how FG does things. If I were to purchase a published work, say Kobold Press' Book of Lairs (but the question extends to anything) and I wanted to bring an encounter into a module for my personal campaign to change and modify so it fits, how would I go about that? Let me reel it in and make it more specific.
Let's say I have a 5e campaign. I create a module for it and title it: Tales of Greyhawk. I read somewhere that when working on a campaign module, one should work on a development version and export the module. So, I'm doing all my work on Tales of Greyhawk Development (ToGD).
I then buy Kobold Press' Book of Lairs (BoL) with the intention of selecting some of the mini-adventures and bringing them into ToGD. I start it up and load the module. Of course I'm going to need to tweak it, so I start making changes to it. Are those changes affecting my purchased product or does it only occur to the version loaded into ToGD?
Now I take the adventure (that I tweaked) from Book of Lairs Story and drop it into ToGD Story. I export the module then load it into ToG to play. Will the encounters and NPCs that were linked to in the story be in ToG, or do I have to transfer them individually (at the NPC window, then Encounter window, Parcel window, etc).
Is there a "best practice" document somewhere that I can read on this?
